I'm hungry, what's for lunch?

The best tomato soup

by foodhoe on March 20, 2012

Yes really, and it can be made at home, using some items from a can, but thankfully not just the red and white one with bold cursive letters… Mr. K and I grew up on Campbell’s Tomato Soup, an item which can even now be found in our pantry, although this recipe is such a stunner that we may never go back.

Despite the fact that it's the first day of spring, there's quite a chill in the air.

It is so good with a crunchy piece of bruschetta or grilled cheese sandwich on a cold day. He forwarded me this recipe that he found on the fabulous Once Upon a Chef blog, and then a reminder, and then a nudge that it would probably be really good. It was. I made it over the weekend and wouldn’t change a thing. You can get the recipe here.

Ben, even if it were warmed up V8, it would probably be pretty good with all the fixins! Mr. K made the croutons from leftover ciabatta, and with the fresh basil and parm cheese it was quite a tasty bowl. Great leftovers too.

YUM! Now I know what to do with the hand blender I ordered last year and is still in the box! It definitely doesn’t feel like spring out there but perfect weather for some tomato soup! I’ll probably be adding a good amount of hot sauce to mine though! 🙂
